FRESH air and light are necessary
to children, but to see them sitting
about on the hot sidewalks or in the
dirty dooryards, with the sun blaz-
lug down on them and baking their
little bodies as dry and lifeless as one
of their yellow mud pies, is a pitious
sight. 1t often does not require the
aid of unwholesome food and the un-
pure air that they breathe at night,
to finish them off in good time. And
the most piteous thing about the
business is that there seems to be no
possible way Of getting parents to be
more interested in their children.

FLY-PAPER is a mean invention
which does grievous Injury TO the ten
der and confiding nature of a fly. Be-
ing moist and soft and sticky, it APP
peals TO him as being something good
to eat Alighting he gets one foot
mired and dosen't like it. Nothing
but complete freedom of movement sat-
isles an American fly. He beats the
air with his wings and fails to get loose.
A happy thought strikes him, He uses
the other hind leg to pry out the first
and gets that into trouble. Then he
thinks if he puts down his two middle
legs and pushes real hard, something
will break loose The experiment is a
failure. He then yells for help and
other flies come to his rescue. They
interlace legs and pull, but find the fly
still fast. Then they roll him over on
his back, thinking he may slide easier
in that position, but he is anchored
hrmer than ever. Then they ask him
to remain just where he is until after
luncheon aud not get stuck up any
more, and he promises to wait until
they come back, and then they go off
and forget all about him. He remains,
feebly gesticulating with his two re-.
naming legs, and finally gets tired and
abandons himself to death. Suisse
quently the paper is thrown into the
back yard, where a tom-cat steps on it
and it takes him week to comb the
flies and pitch out of his fur.
